BACKGROUND Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a six-piece optical lens system with awide field of view, and more particularly to a miniaturized six-pieceoptical lens system with a wide field of view which is applicable toelectronic products.

Description of the Prior Art

In recent years, with the popularity of electronic products with thefunction of taking photographs, there's an increasing demand for anoptical lens system. In order to obtain a wider shooting range, the lensangle should meet certain requirements. The field of view of the lens isusually designed to be 50 to 60 degrees, if over the above design angle,the aberration is larger and the lens design is more complex. Forexample, the optical lens systems as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos.8,335,043 and 8,576,497 use two lens groups and 5-6 pieces of lenselements to obtain a wide field of view, however, their distortion isincreased. The optical lens systems as disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos.8,593,737, 8,576,497 and 8,395,853 also have a wide field of view, buttheir TL (total length) of the entire optical lens system is too long.

Therefore, how to develop a miniaturized six-piece optical lens systemwith a wide field of view which not only can be applied to lenses of theelectronic products, such as, digital camera, Webcam, mobile phone andso on, but also has a wide field of view, and can reduce the aberrationand the design complexity is the motivation of the present invention.

In the present six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view,the lens elements can be made of plastic or glass. If the lens elementsare made of plastic, the cost will be effectively reduced. If the lenselements are made of glass, there is more freedom in distributing therefractive power of the six-piece optical lens system with a wide fieldof view. Plastic lens elements can have aspheric surfaces, which allowmore design parameter freedom (than spherical surfaces), so as to reducethe aberration and the number of the lens elements, as well as the totaltrack length of the six-piece optical lens system with a wide field ofview.

In the present six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view,if the object-side or the image-side surface of the lens elements withrefractive power is convex and the location of the convex surface is notdefined, the object-side or the image-side surface of the lens elementsnear the optical axis is convex. If the object-side or the image-sidesurface of the lens elements is concave and the location of the concavesurface is not defined, the object-side or the image-side surface of thelens elements near the optical axis is concave.

The six-piece optical lens system with a wide field of view of thepresent invention can be used in focusing optical systems and can obtainbetter image quality. The six-piece optical lens system with a widefield of view of the present invention can also be used in electronicimaging systems, such as, 3D image capturing, digital camera, mobiledevice, digital flat panel or vehicle camera.
